City Manager McLemore's Concrete Jungle !
Or
How not to build a city for people, but merely to gain sales revenues!
![]()
The slides below will show just what the City Commission, Mayor ---- under City Manager McLemore's direction --- are seeking to do to bring the City a massive population explosion with hopes to shore-up the sales revenues for their cherished "strip-mall" called by citizens of Winter Springs --- "TINY TOWN".
The planned projects include the City of Winter Springs aggressive protrusion into the properties to the east of the Beltway by scurrilous annexation attempts with the assistance of large landowners has now over 2.617 NEWLY PLANNED high density multiple family housing units. That does not include the immense properties, and land they are trying to annex in the "Black Hammock" area as part of the continuous annexation scam.
If they accomplish their projected annexations with promises of outlandish improvements -- they can't even take care of what's in the City now --- it should almost double the above figure of condos/apartments/townhouses they desire to build to furnish their "Tiny Town" with sales revenues.
One can not blame the people for seeking the most affordable housing with the best possible features for their young growing families, but what the City of Winter Springs has allowed to happen throughout the City is almost criminal. With projects like the one pictured in the above slides, and other areas such as "Barclay" on the eastern most part of town the City wants only to PACK IN PEOPLE to spend money in their laughable little venture called "Tiny Town".
The City Manager, Mayor, Commission, and planning department (as if they had a choice) has absolutely devastated the land to build their concrete jungles. One of the eastern projects even has a children's playground located right up to the traffic of SR434. The city's planers could care less.
They want every buildable square foot of land to house at least a part of one family. Safety, fire, and police protection is the last of their worries. They would build high-rise multi-storied apartments if they thought they could get away with it by stretching existing laws. You have a "greedy city government/management" in Winter Springs. They are even running out of water [ Shortage ].
But it's business as usual in the City of Winter Springs. Commissioners use their positions for personal financial, and political enhancements. Just go to City Hall and demand the contribution sheets of candidates running for re-election, or to regain their previous offices. You'll see current and past commissioners donating to continue their cause even though they lost their political offices, and you'll see the influx of realtors, developers, property management companies all involved.
PFGG as usual will be following the campaign trails to point out the continuance of monetary influence to maintain the current member of your city government. Once in office they have no qualms on whose money they take, and use for re-election. The current races should bring out the worst yet in the campaign trails of the City.
It is already seen where one ex-commissioner is using family members to gain yet another, or regain her foothold in city government with supporting another EX-COMMISSIONER ! Now with the horrendous salary increase why not go again for the taxpayers supporting your family. They have NOTHING else to do -- they claim retirement, and their serving in office as a PUBLIC service --- HUH !
